Evaluation of genetic toxicity caused by acid mine drainage of coal mines on fish fauna of Simsang River, Garohills, Meghalaya, India.
TL;DR: The index of DNA damage assessed by comet assay, micronucleus and chromosome aberration tests demonstrated significant differences season wise in different sampling sites, and Frequency of DNA-damaged cells was found highest in the water samples collected from affected site in monsoon season.

Present status and diversity of small indigenous fish species (SIS) in the upper reaches of river Brahmaputra in Assam, north-eastern India
TL;DR: The study revealed that the upper reaches of river Brahmaputra is fairly rich in SIS fish diversity, however, better management strategies such as controlled harvest and scientific fishing policies will ensure sustainable exploitation and conservation of SISFish in the region.

Effect of Acid Mine Drainage of Coal Mining on Total Protein Content of Muscle and Liver in a Freshwater Fish, Channa punctatus (Bloch)
B. Talukdar,H. K. Kalita,R. A. Baishya,S. Basumatary,A. Dutta,S. K. Srivastava,Dandadhar Sarma +6 more
TL;DR: It was found that there was a decreasing trend of total protein content and maximum decrease was found at 48 and 72 h in liver and muscle respectively, however, a little rise of protein content is found at 72 H in Liver and 96 h on muscle, suggesting the increased enzyme activities to cope with toxic stress.

B. Talukdar,H. K. Kalita,R. A. Baishya,S. Basumatary,A. Dutta,S. K. Srivastava,Dandadhar Sarma +6 more
TL;DR: It has been observed a gradual significant decrease in TEC, Hb, OCC, PCV and MCV as compared to that of control but slight fluctuation in the level of MCH and MCHC and increase in the number of lymphocyte and basophil in treated fishes.
